Experts
say that the average adult needs between 7.5 to 8 hours of sleep each night.
And you know what? I try my darndest to get all of that sleep in because sleep
is incredibly important for both physical and mental health. Sleep is when our
brain processes and organizes information, forming new memories. Sleep is when
our body repairs muscles and releases hormones to regulate growth. Sleep is
when I’m relaxing in my super comfy bed with fancy high thread count Egyptian
cotton sheets. Sleep is awesome. But despite all of this, I don’t always get my
7.5 to 8 hours of peaceful rest. And in many instances, it wasn’t because I
didn’t give myself enough time.

You
see, I’m not one of those people that can fall asleep at the drop of a hat.
Instead, I’m one of those people that toss and turn, and flip their pillow over
and over, sometimes even agonizing when I’ll finally fall asleep. And on top of
that, I’ll sometimes wake up all groggy in the middle of the night. Why? I have
no idea.

I’ve
tried a number of different tips and tricks to get myself to fall asleep
quickly, and to get better quality sleep, but they’ve been hit and miss. One of
the more obvious “solutions” was sleeping pills but they are hardly a permanent
solution. Sleeping pills can have negative side effects you can become
dependent on them, developing serious withdrawal symptoms once you stop taking
them. Not good at all. So what to do? Well, let’s see what Mother Nature has
for us…
